According to that list mine turns out to be an Autocord RG 2nd version from 1962, but my serial number is in the 1st version range.

According to the McKeown guide the first model Autocord was made from 1955-1965 and had no meter. That's what I have and it's focus lever is not broken.

I decided to put a selection of flash bulbs in a frame.

kodaker, That is a very attractive display. Are you still collecting them? Mickey Yes when I run across them.

Here is a camera that you don't see every day. It's the camera out of a photo booth that made a strip of 4 pictures while you sat and posed. My son, who is a collector of stuff like me called one day and asked if I wanted a photo booth. I said I would love to but I don't have room for it. He said he had found one that had been discarded and if I didn't want the whole booth, how about some parts from it, like the camera. I said of course. He brought me the camera, the adjustable stool, and a few miscellaneous other parts.
Here are some pictures. Starting from the top left is the business side of the camera. The square hole is the shutter, you can see that it's a rotating shutter. Inside there is a prism that directs the opening to the left to the lens and then to the film which comes down from the top. The bottom two left pictures show some of the insides, the ones on the right side show another side and top and then the bottom where the slot is that the film drops into the developing tank. The lens is an Ilex f2.9. It doesn't state the focal length.
Then there is the advertisement plate and the big card that shows some example pictures. I have enlarged one of the strips. It's the one that is on the left side of the big card. I think that is Cheryl Tiegs.

Here is a picture of the rear of my VM personal camera. I wonder what Sears used it for.

I have two Viewmaster cameras. I think that's all of the kinds that were made. I have used both of these and they both make nice pictures to put into the reels. I once used the personal one to make pictures at my niece's wedding and later gave them the reels and a viewer. Of course you also need the film cutters and the two cameras have different cutters. Luckily I have both of those, and also a VM 3D projector. 3D has always been a favorite of mine.

The Dial is an interesting camera and worked fine mostly. It was a little bit finicky in loading film but did OK after that. The automatic setting worked for me most of the time.

This, I believe, is all of the half frame cameras I have. Most of these I have used, but not recently. Starting from the front and going clockwise, is the Olympus Pen FT, the Canon Demi S and then the Bell & Howell Demi, practically the same camera as the Canon except for the lens, the Bell & Howell Dial 35 with wind up motor drive, the Yashica Samurai X4, and then the Mercury II. Of course my favorites of these were the Pen, the Dial, and the Samurai. I made a good bit of pictures with these three.
